The problem it solves

Scrubbing through a long video to find the exact moment you need is slow and tedious. Editors and marketers waste hours hunting for timestamps by hand instead of doing the more valuable parts of their job.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, or video editors who need highlight clips from long videos.

How it works

  1. Triggered by submitting a form with a YouTube URL and a description of the clips you want
  2. Fetches the full video transcript
  3. AI reads the transcript and identifies the matching moments
  4. Sends those timestamps to a clipping service to extract the segments
  5. Saves the clip links to a spreadsheet for easy access
What you get

Highlight clips ready for your final cut

You get candidate highlight clips pulled from your video, complete with timestamps and links, ready for you to pick from.

What you get

A set of ready-to-use video clips with links logged in a spreadsheet.

What you need

An Apify account, an Anthropic API key, and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
